JThompson Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 And I thought it was going to be something like a "Texas Star"! Or perhaps a musket with a muzzle flash. Pretty... JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajarrel Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 My wife had me plant two on the back fence a couple of years ago. They have lots of flowers and if you don't cut them back pretty severly each year they grow to be quite large. Ours are 12-15 feet tall. I'll try to post pictures later this afternoon. fwiw dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to fill all the space between the crepe myrtle, eucalyptis and pine trees! This is a pair of blooms. Note there are several more buds behind them They really are pretty, aren't they. And this is just a B/W of one of the blooms. It seems to take on a whole different look dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
